On March 24, the Department of State updated the processing times for U.S. passport applications. Routine processing will take 10-13 weeks and expedited processing, which costs an additional $60, will take 7-9 weeks. These new processing times only apply to new applications submitted on or after March 24. Processing time begins the day we receive an application and do not include mailing time.
Processing times are cyclical and rise and fall based on seasonal demand. However, the volume of applications we have received during periods this year has outpaced records set by last year’s volume by more than 30 percent.
